Thank you all! Yes, I think I need to be honest with myself. Quite frankly, I may be in denial and looking to justify why I can have a drink - soon. Coincidentally, my wife mentioned how the annual "World Beer Festival" is coming next month. I've been to the previous 7 drinking frenzies and perhaps I'm looking for a reason, any reason, to attend.
Every day is a test....everywhere I look, there's alcohol....people joking about buying a round...
